I’m late to the party. Sorry if my thoughts have already been mentioned.

1- Brakes on a car don’t work instantaneously, because they have 4,000lbs of mass pushing the car/wheels forward. When I worked as an auto tech, I occasionally put cars on a lifts, put the car in gear, and rev’d the engine (for diagnostic purposes- please don’t try this at home:)). When the car (as a whole) is not in motion, the brakes stop the wheels damn-near instanly when applied with sufficient force.I would think a 10” saw blade could be stopped even faster.
